Salik’s strong top-line performance in 2024 comes as a result of a significant increase in the number of revenue-generating trips, which reached 498.1 million by the close of the year. This represents an increase of 8.0% over the 461.4 million revenue-generating trips in 2023. This increase resulted in total revenues of AED 2.292 billion, up by 8.7% compared to 2023.Maged Ibrahim Chief Financial OfficerLearn more
Salik is the exclusive operator of Dubai’s advanced tolling system and provides a technologically advanced, free- flowing, barrier-free roadway toll system in the Emirate of Dubai until 2071.
‘Salik’, which means seamless mobility in Arabic, enables the seamless and convenient mobility of over four million vehicles in Dubai. With best-in-class Radio-Frequency-Identification (RFID) and Automatic-Number-Plate-Recognition (ANPR) technologies at ten automatic gates, Salik optimises the performance of the world’s leading smart urban roadway networks to keep Dubai moving fast along its chosen pathway as one of the world’s fastest growing cities.
Salik’s own growth pathways include increasing revenues from tolls and parking payment solutions, data monetisation, and advertising.
Salik aspires to become a global leader in sustainable and smart mobility solutions. To achieve this vision, the Company has a highly experienced Board of Directors — including engineers who have played a key role in shaping Dubai’s infrastructure — alongside a seasoned executive team.
Salik contributes to Dubai’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050; free-flow gates reduce traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and GHG emissions. Salik plans to make all toll gates solar- powered over the next few years. The Company adopted a paperless strategy early on, encompassing 99% of its operations, while also joining the pilot scheme for the Dubai Financial Market’s carbon credits trading initiative.
Salik is strongly committed to diversity and inclusion, prioritising female employment and upholding a discrimination-free environment for our multinational workforce. Salik provides exemptions for people of determination, public transport, and school buses, and places a particular focus on children’s wellbeing, collaborating with NGOs to support initiatives that impact the future of our communities.
Salik’s concession agreement with the RTA secures exclusive rights to operate Dubai’s toll gates until June 2071, within a clear regulatory framework designed to foster growth and efficiency. This ensures seamless mobility in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. The 2022 IPO of a 24.9% stake in Salik offered investors a unique opportunity to participate in Dubai’s dynamic growth through a high-quality infrastructure asset.
